Windows Protected Your PC - Windows Defender SmartScreen popup might appear when you try to open the app, this happen because I have yet to digitally sign the app, either I have to pay for it (200 USD per year) or have enough people use it for it to go away (it reset between updates), there should be no issue with anti-virus.
Xbox PC Gamepass No Permission to open ManorLords-WinGDK-Shipping.exe - Unfortunately, the game executable file is locked by the xbox app, you can use the "detect from running instance" option for now, managing mods for xbox games will still be supported with limited features.
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime is required to run this program error - Assuming you can run the game normally, this happen when you select the Launcher (ManorLords.exe), you must select the actual game executable ( ManorLords-{Win64 or WinGDK}-Shipping.exe ).

Make it make sense. Your launcher is flawed. Plethora of comments stating the same. Its insurmountably easier to spend the 10 extra seconds to install the mods manually in their respective directories than jump through the 30 hoops of bs within this launcher.
The mod you're attempting to install is a 'UE4SS mod', select the installer for 'UE4SS mod' not 'pak mod'.
Read the 'Install UE4SS Mod (Direct)' section in the description page, there's also a video for it, you can always ask for help in the discord server before complaining, I usually answer within 5 minutes unless sleep hours even while at work.
That flaw is not a priority for me to fix, its' a free software, do put more effort in using it.
The problems people are describing with the C++ is literally because the videos you have show you using the wrong .exe I would advise you to re-record the videos to avoid this issue or creating a more descriptive error.
Which video exactly ?, the 'selecting executable manually' shows that I chose the 'ManorLords-Win64-Shipping.exe', the app does not actually care what exe you chose (but it does matter that you chose the correct exe so that the mod will be loaded), the ' ManorLords.exe' is a launcher and the error message is given by that launcher because it's started from unexpected source, I don't think it's my fault.
Check again that the correct executable (ManorLords-WinGDK-Shipping.exe) is selected, you don't have to start from the toolbox, starting manually from the xbox app will work as well. If the mod is not applied check that the selected executable was correct when you installed the mods, you can ask for help in the discord server.
*"PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH VISUAUL C++"* If you have trouble with C++ the guy who made this mod put a video in the mod description as i link here (https://youtu.be/VV-qDlJ71tk) it fixed modded launcher not working your welcome!
Edit: Menu button is F10. didn't see the guy who made it put in big letters the problem but u can read this too
I don't have the GOG version of the game, though there's a good chance it will be the same as steam thus will work just fine, make sure you select the correct executable, it's "ManorLords-Win64-Shipping.exe".
How can I properly launch this after reboot? When I finish playing and restart the computer, when I launch the ML Toolbox launcher again, the installed UE4SS & all the installed game mods are gone and I have to redo all installation again. Am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thank you!
Currently, the mods are stored in the game installation folder (relative to the folder of the executable, that is 'direct install', 'managed install' is not yet implemented), if it's gone after reboot then some other program is deleting it, maybe you have a program such as https://www.faronics.com/en-uk/products/deep-freeze installed in your system which is common in Internet cafe.
Had is previously installed but mods weren't working so tried uninstalling and reinstalling I just need confirmation if its installed somewhere in a file and how would I go about finding it as I'm in the process of doing so.

Starting to doubt i even reinstalled it and it keeps not running because "it needs Microsoft Visual C++"
Always something.
Thank you.
Hope it gets better and easier to use like most mod managers out there these days!
I am playing the Xbox Game Pass version.
I've tried running it both as admin and not.
I've looked through the posts and can't find it previously having been mentioned. Any help would be appreciated

To avoid confusion just delete the Toolbox and install anew, then try again, for mod support better ask it in the discord server.
